COMPROMISE
Action Follows lows F. D. R. Plea For Curb Against
Inflation.
‘By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 9.—Urgent need for new taxes to help hold the line against inflation’ was emphasized by President Roosevelt today
the house for enactment of compromise pay-as-you-go legislation. Mr. Roosevelt told a press conference one of the cardinal points in his program to fight infiation was
siphoning off billions of dollars by taxes and savings. This excess pur-
at $35,000,000,000. In the house, Rep. F. Edward Hebert (D. La), leader of the 15 southern Democrats who supported the Ruml skip-a-year tax plan, called on his followers to accept a compromise plan to put income tax
Take ‘Half Loaf”
-Hebert wrote the 15 members that “if we can’t have the whole loaf, I think it best to take half of it.” “I believe compromise is now in the air,” he wrote; “and that we can get some kind of pay-as-you-go plan which, while not embracing all the features of the bill for which
principles and include most of its advantages.” Reps. Ranulf Compton (R. Conn.), and John P. Newsome (D: Ala.), meanwhile introduced a new income tax plan designed to meet “all reasonable objections” of opponents of the Ruml plan.
Odds Improve
The Compton-Newsome plan would forgive all 1942 taxes for an
| estimated 7,000,000 new taxpayers, |"
and cancel 45 per cent of 1942 levies for all other taxpayers. A period of five years would be provided to pay the remaining 55 per cent of their last year’s taxes. The odds were improving that the pay-as-you-go principle will have another chance. Pressure on house leaders for speedy and affirmative tax action was increasing. Mr. Roosevelt told the people last night in ga statement that inflation cannot be prevented by wage and price ceilings and rationing alone. Compromise Is Sought
But House Democratic Leader John W. McCormack and House
tin Jr., both of Massachusetts, are
up a tax bill again. Vacation-hungry statesman are clamoring for an Easter recess. Rep. Martin may attempt to block that unless the Democrats agree to bring the Ruml-Carlson skip-a-year tax plan before the house for a free vote. Rep. McCormack, evidently fearing that the house was letting itself in for trouble with its. constituents—Iletters from back home— by failing to pass a tax bill one way or the other, proposed that the Republicans accept some kind of pay-as-you-go compromise.

HOME FRONT FORECAST
By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writer ’ WASHINGTON, April 9—OPA’s latest gift to the American housewife, is the price ceiling on beef and mutton designed to strike a telling blow at black markets, and also to reduce, to a certain extent, existing meat prices. In spite of the careful system of grading worked out by OPA, housewives should be on the lookout for a minor flaw in the ruling.
winless government enforcement agents are at hand, is the quality of the meat itself. Home economists suggest watching for a good color, absence of fatty tissue, in selecting

Although radio tubes are being produced in nearly the same quantities as in pre-war days, a distributors’ snarl is bottlenecking the flow of them to the consumer, and a serious shortage is resulting. WPB has suggested an exchange of tube types by manufacturers, but the plan has not been adopted. Meanwhile experts believe that radio tubes once allocated to the army may find their way back to civilian consumption because they couldn’t meet climatic requirements or front-line shocks.
Despite predictions that bigger coffee imports will mean further easing of the present rationing, OPA officials say that the present coffee rationing will remain unchanged.

CAN YOU BUY A REFRIGERATOR?
You're Permitted To but First You'll Have to Find One.
One of the easiest things to sell js a refrigerator, but take it from the WPB and the dealers, it is one of the hardest things to buy.
Indianapolis stores are expecting their share of electric and gas refrigerators any day now as a result of the government’s action in releasing 148,847 units from the national stockpile of 400,000 refrigerators. One store received a shipment of 28 refrigerators Wednesday and by night they were all gone. Another had more than a dozen and has but three left. Many of the other stores are hopefully waiting for a shipment from the manufacturers or distributors. Most stores have a waiting list of customers who have asked them to “save me a refrigerator when you get one.” One distributor here said he could seil 2000 refrigerators “right now if we could get ’em.”
Another Matter
But, as the WPB says, buying a refrigerator is another matter. The customer is required to sign an affidavit. saying that he has no means of refrigeration available. According to WPB officials, that lets most city dwellers out because they can buy ice boxes on which there is no buying restriction. An exception to this would be those who live in areas where ice deliveries are not made, such as at
the edge of the city or in the coun-| Bo
try. The WPB has warned the
are city dwellers eligible to buy the newly unfrozen refrigerators. Dealers expect another “unfreezing” in a few months. They point out that the current release comprises only about one-third of the reserve supply in the nation and that summer is approaching and that there is a possibility some “victory models” will be manufactured later on. The office of war information re-
Mayer chapel, 448 W. Norwood st., has ‘inherited supervision of a five-acre victory garden project. ‘Four years ago William F. Gansberg donated the tract at 1400 Southwest st. to be used by south
side gardeners. It was a WPA project, supervised by a WPA employee. But this year, there is no WPA. The land was there, the gardeners were there, but a leader was missing. To solve the problem, Mr. and Mrs. Roy C. Linberg, directors of Mayer chapel, called a meeting of gardeners. Those applying for land in the project named themselves the Southwest Street Victory Gardeners and elected a committee of five experienced gardeners to act as leaders. The five men—Paul Weber, Linas Able, Willie Harris, George Lucid and Tereso Morales—were given full charge of the project. They are responsible for success of the gardens. Serving in an advisory capacity are Mrs. Lester Craig, leader at the Ray Street community center; Elmer Norris, principal at «school 12, and Mr. and Mrs. Linberg. In the past each gardener was given a 60 by 100-foot plot, To give more people gardening opportun-

WASHINGTON, April 9 (U. PD). —Office of price administration: officials decided today to abandon a proposal requiring home canners to surrender ration coupons for extra sugar supplies. Instead, they agreed to econ tinue the present program under which housewives apply to their local ration boards for canning sugar to meet their requirements, The ration proposal would have required persons asking for extra: canning sugar to surrender from 8 to 12 points of their canned. goods stamps in war ration book’ No. 2 for each pound. OPA officials and the Cuban embassy said they were unable to confirm reports of new 4 ments for importation of an ad.
